The US president, in a post on his TruthSocial account, ruled out Ukraine joining Nato and would not get Russia-occupied Crimea back under the deal being put forward.
He continued: “Remember how it started. No getting back Obama given Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE. Some things never change!!!”
Zelensky, who has arrived in Washington, said he hopes that Ukraine’s “shared strength” with the US and European counterparts will compel Russia to peace.
“And I hope that our shared strength with America and with our European friends will compel Russia to real peace.”
In a show of unity, Sir Keir Starmer and six other European leaders will travel to Washington DC for the talks, with the aim of protecting Ukraine from having to submit to Russian land grabs as a price for peace.
Those joining Sir Keir include France’s Emmanuel Macron, Germany’s Friedrich Merz, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and Alexander Stubb, president of Finland.
Zelensky is expecting to face calls from Trump to concede to full Russian control of Donetsk and Luhansk, two mineral-rich regions of Ukraine that are mostly occupied by Vladimir Putin’s forces.
The European leaders have said it is up to Ukraine to decide how it wishes to end the war, and hailed Zelensky’s commitment to a peace that is both “just and lasting”.
Monday’s meeting will take place at 1:15pm ET (18.15 BST), the White House said in a statement on Sunday.
In another post on TruthSocial Trump wrote: “Big day at the White House tomorrow. Never had so many European Leaders at one time. My great honor to host them!!!”
